Procedure 

• Come into Vajrasan progressively.
• Slightly unfold your left leg and rest the left foot on the floor near the inner side of the right knee.
• Gently raise your left hand, put the left elbow on the left knee and rest the chin on the left palm.
• Make sure your trunk and head stay well erect.
• Rest your right hand on your right knee, and then close your eyes.
• Hold the pose for as long as you are comfortable, with slow and even breathing.
• Gently return to Vajrasan and repeat the asan on the other side.

Awareness

• On the breaths flowing in and out
• On keeping the spine and head erect
• On spontaneously remembering “Radhey Krishna” along with the exhalations and inhalations

Benefits

• The aim of Veerasan is to improve the functions of the kidneys, liver, and different reproductive and abdominal organs.
• Yog therapists also recommend it for the development of concentration, for it helps balance the mind of the practitioners.
• Veerasan allows more awareness of the unconscious realms and brings both—physical and mental relaxation—quickly. 
• This easy pose even benefits those with uncontrolled thoughts because it assists in shaping their thinking process clearly
